Expert Solution Architecture And AI

Join our dynamic team as a Software Architecture Engineer and shape the future of innovative software solutions! Were seeking a visionary architect to drive technical excellence across our R&D center and influence multiple product lines.

We are evolving our Product Lifecycle - Digital Thread architecture to become AI-enabled—supporting semantic search, knowledge retrieval (RAG), and agentic workflows that can assist engineers across requirements, change, traceability, and data quality. This role will define the to‑be architecture and guide its implementation while grounding decisions in our current Orchestra/Aras footprint and integration landscape.

You will be responsible for AI architecture governance, AI-enablement strategy, and technical leadership across the platform ecosystem—ensuring value delivery, security/compliance, and operational sustainability.

What will you do:

• Partner with engineering teams to implement architecture standards: CI/CD, environment strategy, secrets management, observability.Ensure performance, resiliency, and cost-conscious design for AI components (LLMOps, caching, batch vs. real-time, evaluation harnesses).
  
  

To‑Be Architecture & Roadmap

Assess current PLM Digital Thread architecture (Aras Innovator platform + integrations with different enterprise systems) and define the target architecture for AI enablement.

Establish a practical roadmap for GenAI + agentic capabilities that complements (not replaces)

What will make you successful:

Agentic AI, MCP, and RAG Enablement

Design patterns for:

RAG (document/data ingestion, embeddings, vector stores, retrieval policies, evaluation/guardrails).

Agentic workflows (tool use, orchestration, multi-step reasoning, human-in-the-loop approvals, auditability) enabling orchestration among different platforms

MCP server/tooling concepts to expose Digital Thread capabilities safely to AI assistants (tool contracts, permissions, observability).

Define governance: prompt/tool safety, data boundaries, authorization model, logging, red-teaming, and model risk controls.

Integration Architecture & Data Strategy

Drive integration patterns between Aras Innovator/Orchestra and tools like ALM/MBSE/PLM/DevOps systems (APIs, events, canonical models, data quality rules).

Define a “single source of truth” strategy for key Digital Thread objects (requirements, change, configuration, test evidence, trace links).

Platform Engineering & OperationStakeholder Alignment

Work with product owners, engineering leaders, compliance/legal/security to ensure solutions are usable, explainable, and policy-compliant.

Influence vendor and partner engagements (Aras, integrators) with clear architecture guardrails and technical acceptance criteria.

Whats in it for you:

• 10+ years in enterprise architecture / solution architecture with hands-on technical depth.
• Demonstrated experience delivering GenAI/RAG or AI-enabled enterprise solutions (not just PoCs): embeddings, retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, security.
• Strong integration architecture expertise: REST/event-driven design, identity/access management, data governance.
• Ability to translate business process needs into scalable technical architectures and guide implementation teams.
